In St. Louis, MO on Thursday, August 6, 2009 outside a townhall meeting with Democrat congressman Russ Carnahan, a black man was attacked and beaten. Racial slurs were used on him.

The Democrats, liberal media and leftist bloggers have predicted this would happen.
They were right, and they were wrong.

The black that was attacked is a conservative - he was protesting against Carnahan and the Socialist Hellth Scare. The racist attacker - also black - wore the blue shirt logo'd with SEIU.

File this under SEIU union thuggery, Liberal Monsters and Aint that some hopey-change.

STLToday.com has the story.

Kenneth Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with "Don't tread on me" printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room at St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was awaiting treatment for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack.

"It just seems there's no freedom of speech without being attacked," he said.

Members of the local Tea Party Coalition, a movement that has emerged to counter Obama's policies, had urged their members to attend Carnahan's forum, which in turn spurred Democrats to establish a strong presence.

Inside the gathering, while speakers stuck to aging issues, they were often interrupted by yells from audience members who wanted to shift the focus to health care.
